I have and will continue to use Apple and Android devices. Both platforms have strengths and weaknesses.

The idea that Apple products are dumbed down for computer illiterate customers is generally propagated by anonymous faux computer experts who espouse Android features that few people care about and even fewer that will actually use them for any practical purpose.

I think there is some validity to that. Many people ( myself included) who stated with Apple II E only know Apple ( same with Microsoft) and never ventured. There are tons of videos on YouTube that show Apple users trying Android phones and many are just stunned when they learn what features are available. It's much the same with Chrombooks currently.

Apple sells old tech "that just works" and is familiar. Some of the stuff that is "new" on their phones have been out for a decade. They are hardly cutting edge. The walled garden also helps those not technically inclined. It is seen as a positive by older folks.
